Those seem to be the projects where we really get to see the personality of a homeowner and where we can relate. I'd like to see a mixture of those high end projects, and also a more modest project where budget is a legitimate issue and where some hard decisions have to be made. Then they started going crazy with the massive projects and although I like to see that sort of thing occasionally, when they start bringing in the high dollar interior decorators or spend $40,000 on materials for a stair system it quickly becomes out of touch with the typical viewer.
The thing is, This Old House used to feature some "average" houses. Tom: We are headed to Detroit later this season and the homeowner is doing a lot of the work there from the demo to the painting. Kevin: This is also why we created Ask This Old House - for the smaller projects. Tom: I also think of the big projects as a smorgasbord of ideas that you can pick from.
#Whats wrong with roger on ask this old house plus
I think of the big projects as a plus not a negative. Think of it this way, some homeowner is willing to spend their hard earned dollars so we can show great craftsmanship and expose the viewer to new technology. Kevin: In terms of scope of the project, a modest size house doesn't allow us to put in geothermal or radiant heat or build that stone wall and while its all expensive, it's also great content for our viewers. Tom: Like this season we are in Detroit and the prices there don't compare to the prices here (in MA). Richard: The thing about price is that it's dated by the next year and it's different regionally.
